now the Apollo vin comes back fine and you might be able to sneak it through if you dont go to the Cranston DMV but enforcement hates china bikes and will shoot down any china bikes they specifically mentioned the CSC bikes. They actually seemed proud that they were stopping people from registering them.

On a side note they looked up the Apollo db-36 and went on to say its not safe tires are too exposed, They were not happy when I told them that the tires were the same amount exposed as on my XR650L that is RI plated. they also told me that the apollo bikes were some of the ones they crushed a few months back in a crack down on illegal riding on the city streets

Good luck if your trying in RI you have to love this fct state

I can understand the Hawk but any other bike that has fmvss should be able to register. What a bunch of dumb #@%*. Even the Hawk DXL has fmvss. I would have to move.
